Mollie went he emigrated too.
He went with her to church one

The worthy deacon quickly let his

Walnuts as Food for Turkeys.

A writer in London paper says
under this head: / stated last week
that in former days tame turkeys
were fed with walnuts to give them
the taste of wild turkeys. In Italy
turkeys are always fattened with
walnuts. Thirty days before a turkey
is to be killed, one walnut is stuffed
down his throat. Each day he is
given an additional walnut, and on
the twenty-ninth day he has twenty
nine walnuts. He is then immensely
fat. I have often wondered, adds the
writer, why our turkey breeders dc
not adopt this plan.

Never borrow if you can possibly

Always speak the truth. Make

Avoid temptation through fear that
you may not withstand it.
Never speak evil of any one. BE

Battle Just Before Going to Bed and Be
Careful About Your Hair Brush.

A well-known physician met a re-
porter for the Mail and Express on a
Fourth avenue car recently and con-
graduated him upon his apparent
good health.
"You look as bright as a new pin,"
said the doctor.

the bath-tub, l suppose" returned
the reporter, "but 1 am troubled with
an awful cold and 1 believe l am get
ting a little bald"
because you have just come out
of the bath-tub, l suppose" returned
the doctor, repeating the reporters
words. "Oh, l mean it," he contin.
ued, as the scribe began to laugh.
off you would battle just before going
to bed you would never have a cold.
Besides, such a practice would inn
prove your complexion. Continued
warmth after a bath is one of the
best things for the complexion that ]
know of. DO you shave yourself?
"No. have a cup and tools at s
downtown barber's."
"That's why your hair is coming
out. You have been careful to provide
your own cup, soap, lather brush ant
blades, but how aboutthe hair brush
did you think to provide that? No
| thought not. The hair-brusf

A Little Fun at Home.

Do not be afraid of little fun at
home, good people. DO not shut up
your house lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and your hearts lest a
laugh should shake down a few of
the musty old cobwebs that are hang
ing there. If you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left at
the threshold without when they
come home at night. When once a
home is regarded as only a place to
eat, drink and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling-houses
and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation
somewhere. If they do not find it al
their own hearthstones, they will
seek it at other and less profitable
places. Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly in winter, and let the doors
and windows be cheerfully thrown
open in summer, and make the home
delightful with those little arts that
parents so well understand. DO moi
repress the buoyant spirits of YOU
children. Haitian hour of merriment
within doors and merriment of 9
home, blots out the remembrance O
many a care and annoyance during
the day; and the best safeguard tina
they can take with them into tn,
world is the unseen influence of {
bright little home sanctum.

which have been furnishing a supply
for twenty years have had to be deep
ened. There are two strata of water
bearing soil under the city, separated
by . layer of impervious clay, and
within the past ten years the surface
of the upper stratum, from which
nearly all the wells are supplied, has
gradually gone down, until now it is
at least five feet lower than a decade
ago. In time will become exhausted
and the supply will have to be drawn
from the lower stratum, which is
practically ineXhaustible. Accord
ing to a statement in Fire and Water
the benevolent institutions and the
larger factories are already drawing
from this supply, and the water is
purer than that which is obtained
from the upper level. This diminu-
ton of the water supply is attributed
to the clearing away of the forests
and the tilling of land, these two
causes increasing the evaporation and
carrying away the rainfall quickly to
the streams, instead ofallowing it to
gather in underground reservoirs and
watercourses.

Twenty of this number were boys,
sixteen Of whom had served in the
Union army. Two were killed.
The other fourteen survive. Each of
them draws a pension from the Gov
eminent fo- disabilities received
while in the service. The death of

Elephants in the Lumber Business.
St. Nicholas for November.

st. Nicholas for November.
Lazy and clumsy-looking as the
elephant appears in our menageries,
where it is merely an object Of curl
osity, in Asia it is as useful an ami
NAL as the horse, and is, indeed, en-
ployed in a greater variety of ways.
There are few, if any, tasks which
a horse can be trusted to perform
without careful and constant guild
ance whereas the elephant is fire.
quently given as much independence
of action as a man would have for
the same work. This is notably the
case in the lumber-yards of Rangoon
and Maulmein, where the entire op-
GRAFTON of moving and piling the
heavy timber is performed by male
elephants without any special super
vision by the keepers.
The logs to be moved are lakewood,
which is very heavy. They r cut
into lengths of twenty feet, with a
diameter or perhaps a square, of
about a foot. An elephant will 60 to
a log, kneel down, thrust his tusks
under the middle of it, curl his trunk
over it, test it to see that it is evenly
balanced, and then rise with it and
easily carry it to the pile which is be-
ing made. Placing the log carefully
on the pile in its proper place, the
sagacious animal will step back a few
PAGES and measure with his eyes to
determine whether or not the log
needs pushing one way or anoth'
er. 1t will then make any necessary
alteration of position. In this way
without a word of command from its
mahout, or driver, it will go on. with
its work.
To do any special task, it must, o
course, be directed by the mahout
but it is marvellous to see how readi
ly this great creature comprehend
its instructions, and how ingeniously
it makes use of its strength. If a los
too heavy to be carried is to be NOV
ed a short distance, the elephant will
bend low, place his great heat
against the end of the log and thel
with a sudden exertion of strength
and weight throw his body forward
and fairly push the log along ; or, t.
move the log any great distance, h
will encircle it with a chain and dra,
his load behind him.
AS a rule however, the work Q
dragging is done by the female ell
ephants, since, having no tusks, the.
can not carry logs as the NAL
, elephants do. A man could hardl,
, display more judgement in the ad
justment of the rope or chain aroun,
a log, nor could a man with his tw'
hands tie and unite knots more skill
fully than do they with their trunks
